After the marriage, the strong beauty became rich and busy raising children

Chapter 17 The Bride Arrives

"Auntie." Guan Youshuang took off her red veil, got out of the car, and interrupted her, "Is this a custom in our village, or did you come up with it yourself?"

When my aunt heard this, her face instantly turned grim.

She frowned and said, "Youshuang! You haven't even married yet, why are you speaking in favor of others? This is of course the custom here. Others don't say anything. When your sister left just now, Zhao Yang gave Xiaojie a hundred yuan."

The people watching the fun immediately started talking.

"This seems to be called horse money, but there seems to be no fixed amount for how much it should be."

"This kind of thing still needs to be discussed in advance by the matchmaker."

"It doesn't really matter how much money you have. Some give 6 yuan or 8 yuan, and some give 66 or 88 yuan. It's all about luck."

"Look at this dowry. My parents even gave me furniture. I don't think a hundred dollars is too much."

Liang Yuting pulled Guan Youshuang's hand and whispered, "Youshuang, if Gu Errong isn't ready, I'll go to my house and make one for you. I have a ready-made red envelope."

"No, I have it."

Guan Youshuang returned to the car, took out two hundred yuan from her bag, and said, "Okay, then we'll give you two hundred and let Xiaojie pick it up."

Everyone was stunned.

Two hundred is not a small amount these days.

Many families don’t even earn that much in a year.

It seems that the Guan family really loves their eldest daughter, giving her both dowry and money.

"You, you're asking even though you already know the answer. Xiaojie has gone to marry Leilei, how can you come to pick her up? How about this, you give me the money and I'll give it to Xiaojie later."

Guan Youshuang sneered in her heart. In the original book, Guan Ruijie sent Guan Lei to the Gu family, and now, he sent Guan Lei to the Zhao family.

To put it bluntly, they also know that a younger brother sending his older sister off to get married is a good thing for her.

They never thought of her!

That's all, and you still want her to give you money!

"Since Xiaojie is not here, there is no need to give the money."

After hearing this, Zhang Caihe chased after him, no longer caring about her image.

"Youshuang, what are you talking about? This is the money for getting married, and it has to be paid by the man. It has nothing to do with you."

"His business is my business. Similarly, my money is his money. Since my brother is not here, there is no need for us to stick to etiquette." Guan Youshuang said calmly.

"The Zhao family has given it, how can you not give it?" Zhang Caihe asked.

"You ask your brother to come and marry me, and I will give it to him immediately."

"you!"

Guan Youshuang stopped talking and pulled Gu Errong into the car without looking back.

"I'm sorry, I didn't think it through." Gu Errong said in the car.

"It's okay, it's their problem."

Gu family.

Near noon, the flaming red sun illuminated the entire village.

Under the big locust tree at the entrance of the village, there is a big table with incense and red envelopes on it. A few men are sitting around the table, smoking and chatting leisurely.

Women stood together in groups of three or five, cracking melon seeds and chatting about family matters, while some children moved among the crowd, playing and fighting.

There were several long strings of firecrackers on the ground, extending all the way to Gu Errong's house.

Red couplets have been posted on both sides of the Gu family's door, red lanterns with double happiness printed on them have been hung, and several tall plates of firecrackers have been placed at the door.

In the yard, there are 8 large round tables that can accommodate 10 people, covered with red velvet cloth.

Red wedding characters and ribbons can be seen everywhere on the walls, windows, and even on the door of the livestock shed in the backyard.

Wang Huiying was restless.

"Mom, don't worry, it should be here soon." Gu Errong's sister-in-law Huang Chunyan picked up a wooden comb, dipped it in the basin with water, and combed her hair.

"My left eyelid keeps twitching, do you think it's okay?"

"No, Mom. It's because you didn't get enough rest while taking care of Dad. Stop thinking about it." Huang Chunyan grabbed her mother-in-law and pressed her into the chair.

"Okay, Mom doesn't want to. I'll go see if there's anything I can help with in the kitchen."

"Oh, no need, mom. Just sit there with dad. Ruyi and I will take care of the household affairs."

"Thank you for your hard work this time. Seeing that you didn't sleep all night last night, I feel really bad!"

"Mom, please stop saying that. We are a family and we don't talk behind each other's backs. Today is Errong's big day, you have to be happy, okay?"

Huang Chunyan quickly tied her hair, patted her collar and trousers, then walked out and headed for the kitchen.

She and her husband Gu Ruyi just returned yesterday after taking the train for more than 20 hours. They have been busy since they returned, helping Gu Errong clean, decorate the bridal room, borrow tables and chairs, prepare cigarettes, alcohol, food, etc.

Of course, some things had already been arranged by my father-in-law Gu Yunliang, and they just moved them over.

Although she was spinning like a top, she enjoyed it.

Once their brother-in-law gets married, it will be natural for them to talk about dividing the property.

She has been looking forward to this for many years.

The sound of car horns was heard outside, accompanied by a cloud of dust, and six wedding cars decorated with red wreaths slowly drove into the village entrance.

The sound of firecrackers followed.

Gu Errong's relatives, friends and villagers immediately became enthusiastic. They cheered in unison, some waved colorful flags, some beat drums and gongs, and some scattered red petals at the car.

Everyone was welcoming the arrival of the bride in the warmest way.

Guan Youshuang had never seen such a scene before.

In her previous life, she attended the weddings of her cousin and several classmates, all of which were ordinary Western-style weddings.

She once fantasized that if she got married, she must be different.

Now, it has really come true.

This kind of plot that only appears in TV dramas of the period actually happened to her, a post-00s girl.

It's quite dreamy.

The sound of firecrackers continued as the vehicle drove slowly and stopped in front of the Gu family's door.

Several plates of firecrackers at the door were lit up immediately, crackling. Guan Youshuang felt like her ears were going deaf and couldn't help but cover her ears.

"Bear with it for a while. After these few plates are played, there will be no more for the time being." Gu Errong looked at Guan Youshuang and smiled.

"Okay, the auspicious time has arrived, please get out of the car, bride." Someone shouted outside.

Gu Errong quickly opened the door and got out of the car, walked around the front of the car and opened the door.

"bring it on."

Guan Youshuang was stunned. Why? You want to be carried like a princess again?

She felt a little shy and said quickly, "It's okay, I'll go by myself."

"How can this be possible? Your feet cannot touch the ground."

Guan Youshuang was still hesitating, but Gu Errong had already bent down and picked her up.

A new wave of firecrackers rang out again, and ribbons and flowers covered the clothes of the two newlyweds.

"Wow, the bride is out."

"I want to see the bride. I want to see the bride."

The children rushed to pester Gu Errong and shouted.

Relatives and friends handed out red envelopes, entertained the guests, and moved dowry, each doing their own job.

Guan Youshuang was carried by Gu Errong to the bed in the bridal chamber.

Close the door and cut off from everything outside.
